The book that has changed my views on something recently is a book by Zoe Harcombe called Stop Counting Calories & Start Losing Weight. After a year on Weight Watchers I was four months into the most rotten plateau I’ve ever experienced.  I was also disappointed in the lack of improvement in my health.  So my in laws suggested I …

These are my nails, fake ones.  Pretty, aren’t they?  I got them done at Nagelstudio Ellen in Barendrecht and I couldn’t be happier with them. She is awesome, she also took the photos.  Check out the swirlys, cute huh? You may be wondering why I got acrylic nails. I mean, that’s a little lush for a housewife, isn’t it?  A …

As you can see, I’m back posting on my blog again.  I’ve been back from France for a little over a week and am just settling back in and getting used to life here in Rotterdam again. Our holiday was fantastic and I will soon be bombarding you with photos of some of the things I’ve seen as well as …

Now that I have finally broken the 50 lbs lost point and Project Fatass has made it through winter, it’s time to move on to another goal.  I won’t say what it is because I’m still too embarrassed by the numbers, but it’s 8 lbs away.  Sound easy, right?  Yeah, not really.  Having already done 50 lbs another 8 lbs …

Over the years I’ve had a lot of issues with seasonal depression.  Not something I’ve ever suffered from in Canada, but it hit me quick and hard here in the Netherlands.   I wasn’t expecting it but it happened, and it continued to happen for the past 10 years.  Granted, for the first half of that time I was often quite …

Well, Pixel is almost a year old now and has been with us for 9 months.  It’s been a bit of a roller coaster of pee and poo but we’ve finally gotten it all under control *knocks wood*.   She is so cute it’s hard to stay angry with her when she does things like, oh I don’t know… pee on …

When I was out with my friend Penny the other day we were talking about Rotterdam and how it’s changed because of World War II, and it got me to thinking about how different things might be here had it all never happened. You see, during the war, the Nazis bombed the city center to bits.  They didn’t just blow …

At the moment I am working on some changes for my website.  I have a new theme that I am working on and I will hopefully have it up soon.  I’m working on it using the Theme Test Drive plugin for WordPress.   So I can see it and work on it while everyone else still sees the regular theme.  If …

Over the last while we have been making some changes to our living room as we decided that it was time to retire our sofas and redecorate a bit.   It’s still a work in progress but I do have some photos.   I figure I’ll do it the same as our dining room and show how it’s changed over the years. …

Over the years my hair has been getting shorter and shorter.  Mostly because my patience for long hair has been becoming shorter and shorter too!  In the winter months it’s fine but in the summer I hate having a lot of hair.   My hair is really fine so it tangles easily, and I just get too warm with it all …

The other day I was chatting with Melissa about her buggered up fridge and as I was looking for a photo of our tiny little fridge I got to thinking about if I ever showed the completed kitchen photos. I just did a search on my blog and from what I can tell I stopped updating once the tiles went …
